It’s officially that time of year, summertime aka lake season. Whether you grew up going up north to the lake, or have only been a few times. That feeling you get, sitting on the dock, letting the sunshine hit your face, hanging out on the boat, listening to music. No feeling in the world will compare to that. Here’s a list of things you will definitely understand if you’re a lake-goer.

1. Pulling up to the lake house and getting so antsy to put your bathing suit on and jump in.

You’ve never unlocked the door faster and changed so quickly. Unpacking the car can wait.

2. Waking up in the morning, feeling completely relaxed and excited to start your day.

That morning cup of coffee on the dock. Feeling ready to get right back on the water.

3. Uncovering the boat and putting all of the lawn furniture out, in preparation for a wonderful day in the sun

Even through all of the spiderwebs, and dust, you don’t care, because look at where you are.

4. Eating way too many hotdogs/burgers and drinking way too much beer.

It's the lunch and dinner of choice, almost every day.

5. Waving to all the neighbors who drive by on their boats.

It’s mandatory.

6. Getting pissed off at the guy who speeds by you on a jet ski while you're in a kayak.

Dude, I’m about to go over

7. If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down.

Don’t mess it up!

8. Bathing in the lake with a bar of soap.

It’s not as bad as it sounds!

9. Smelling like the bonfire, sunscreen, or bug spray 24/7.

If not one of them, then all of them!

10. Running out of gas in the middle of the lake.

Jump your ass in and paddle!


11. Spending time with your best friends and family!

No other feeling in the world will compare. Relaxing, laughing and having a good time!


This summer make it a point to bring your butt up and have yourself a nice lake weekend. It’s a place to let all your worries melt away, and just be!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
